A bunch of longhairs go on a hunting party from hell, arguing over petty nonsense and incurring the wrath of some undead Civil War zombies.

Ben Reads the Horror Classics: Conjuring Blood at the End
Been a hot minute since I’ve posted one of these, so I figured it’s past time to let folks know what I’ve been consuming. This time I’ve got a witchy classic, a literary zombie tale, a pop culture frenzy of craziness, a dark and twisted haunted house story and a Victorian gothic tale of murder….

Throughout the month of October, I’ve soft-committed to watching 200+ horror movies. Not only that, I’ve been sectioning them off into themed double features and mini-marathons for additional fun. Up until now, I’ve been posting…
Zombie Island Massacre (Vinegar Syndrome) Blu-ray Review
A Caribbean tourist company brings a bunch of Americans to a mysterious island to see a top-secret voodoo ceremony. It seems like a goofy prank at first, but soon it becomes clear that there are real voodoo zombies hiding in the nearby forest. When their tour bus gets stuck in the mud, the tourists soon…
